About Me

I am a lead guitarist and a bass player. I’m working on my second solo studio project, having just completed my first project, New World in Blue. I am the bass player and lead guitarist for the classic rock band IX Lives. I am also a guest guitarist with the Fond du Lac based band The Groove Kats.

I played guitar intensely as a teenager in the blues/rock scene in London, England. I played occasionally thereafter, but for most of my adult years, my guitar collected dust until I had an epiphany at a Sleater-Kinney concert in 2005. I picked up my guitar a week later and now wonder how I survived without it. Over those years, I remained involved in music, learning classical piano and the drums. I am particularly interested in reinterpreting classical compositions in blues/rock arrangements.
